Why would you want to dye Ame grips , they already do rounds and tris in every colour for under a tenner

sell the ones you've got for a tenner and so on

if it's cams your doing I 'll shut my gob

I tried dying some Grey Cams but the dye wouldn't touch it $:-\$ they just came out a slightly darker grey

Also tried some white Super Softs too but they wouldn't take either
